Pelling or Gangtok? It's a common dilemma when planning a Himalayan trip. Here's an honest side-by-side to help you decide.
Pelling at a glance
West Sikkim's quiet hill town with front-row Kanchenjunga views, ancient monasteries and the Rabdentse ruins.
Gangtok at a glance
Sikkim's lively capital — MG Marg, cable-car views, and the gateway to Tsomgo Lake and North Sikkim.
Which should you choose?
Choose Pelling for Kanchenjunga views and calm; choose Gangtok for buzz, comforts and excursions. Most trips include both.
